Cooled Seats Strength...
How well do the cooled seats work?
I have a 2011 BMW 750Li with same and they barely do anything.
Wonder if the IS is any different...

its really good. especially on a hot hot day. once you use it, you will feel that you cannot live without it anymore.
i usually only put it on low (there are 3 settings). unless it gets really hot outside.
otherwise, keeps me from sweating onto the leather.

Interesting, yes, the BMW's are "ventilated" as well, my mistake, but based on this feedback it seems the Lexus' work pretty well, except for the one experience with the ES. Just another cog in making a decision between the F-Sport and Luxury Packs... :|

One thing I forgot to add. When I picked up my car from the dealer, both vents were turned on high. I drove with the radio off and noticed how loud the fans are. You can hear a faint "static" sound from the back seat area. Once you turn some music or the AC fan on, you can't hear them at all.

But the problem I have with it is the vibration and loud rumbling noise it makes.
I do admire it very much but can definitely live without it.
To those trying to decide over it, you'll live without it.

Depends on what you're wearing. If you're wearing jeans, you won't really feel much. If you're wearing shorts or something that breaths better, you'll notice it a lot more.

it seems 3IS has nicer one (4GS does supposedly too)... 2IS were pretty weak and when really hot you wouldnt feel them much if at all... but so far, people say 3IS is much stronger so lets not confuse the reports here.

You might not feel it but after driving for several hours with ventilated seats, you will not feel "hot and moist" between you and seat (like your clothing) like you do in cars without.
